In fact, a study conducted in West Bengal and Tripura

If I'm ever in West Bengal and Tripura, remind me not to eat or touch anything. I hope these stats are a little better in the U.S. I'm really hoping.

From a vaguely similar story, last year:

Men were the biggest offenders, with just 66 percent of men seen washing their hands in public bathrooms

and

Men's hygiene was worst at Atlanta's Turner Field, where just 57 percent of men were observed washing their hands after using the toilet at the baseball venue.

Don't bet on it. I am amazed at the high number who do not wash their hands in men's restrooms. I have even witnessed doctors(off duty) who failed to wash their hands. Of course, even those of us who do wash have to touch the same door handles that the unwashed use. Sort of negates the whole thing.
